Nintendo Could Learn a Lot from Microsoft

They are learning with their NSO subscription model. It is getting not so bad rn with AC and MK8 DLC included. The drop rate of games is way too slow tho. apparently Gameboy games are already ready to go up on the service but they are waiting on it. It would make it more appealing. Once they fix their online and offers more media options, add gamecube, gameboy and DS games, then the service will be pretty neat.

I honestly don't need them to make a subscription with all their games, it clearly isn't something they are even close from doing. But they need to start by lowering the price of some games on Switch cause it is just overall hurting some franchises. Xenoblade would probably be a lot bigger if the games weren't at full price still. That Nintendo select line can't come soon enough.

Honestly I think doing the subscription model isn't working out. Things were far less difficult when Virtual Console was still around. What made Nintendo think a subscription service for their games was a good idea?

If the Virtual Console was working out, it would still be around.  Clearly it wasn't making enough money to be viable going forward.  It is hard to find good sources, but I have heard that outside of the top few heavy hitters, most VC games sold pretty poorly.
